Borderlands 2 will increase its level cap by 11 to 72 and cheerful blind amputee T.K. Baha returns in two more DLC extensions this fall that Gearbox Software announced today at PAX Australia.
The level cap raise will occur in the âUltimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 2: Digistruct Peak Challenge.â The challenge refers to a new map and a mode in which you may fight overpowered enemies âfor new loot and the ability to âover levelâ your game for extra challenges,â Gearbox said in a fact sheet. Itâll be $5 and it isnât part of the Season Pass DLC. That season is over.
T.K. Baha returns in the âHeadhunter Pack,â which will deliver a new mission set and a boss fight with Jacques OâLantern, so one would gess this will be out around Halloween. This would appear to be a reprisal of T.K.âs zombie role from the Halloween-themed Zombie Island of Dr. Ned way back in the first Borderlands. Otherwise, I have no idea how theyâre gonna bring him back, because T.K. met with a rather definitive end (killed by psychos and hanged by his wooden leg) then turned into a zombie. He was last seen eating 100 brains, if I recall correctly.
Price on Headhunter has not yet been named and it too wonât be part of the Season Pass DLC as, repeat after me, that season is over.
In other news from the panel, Gearbox announced its annual community day will be Sept. 14, and itâll be livestreamed. See this URL for more info. Gearbox also discussed its acquisition of the Homeworld franchise from THQâs liquidation, saying it is âcommitted to bringing the classic Homeworld 1 and 2 games to digital PC stores,â and is examining HD remakes for the two as well.
